Training

There is no two ways about it, prospecting can be tough, but adopting a smart strategy can take the stress out of the search for new business.

Sales growth relies on identifying and making contact with potential customers; standing still is not really an option when market shrinkage or stagnation is the result.

Sales is not an exact science – success is a result of using the right approach at the right time but how do you know what is working?

One-to-one meetings, emails, networking, cold calling – the methods used to capture fresh sales are varied with some more suited to particular industries than others.

Getting what you want is not always easy but with the right skill set in place striking a deal that works for you will become second nature.

My Mum was a funny lady and during my youth, she was constantly throwing riddles at me.

Some of her riddles came in pairs and the pairs typically had a point.

One such pair of riddles has been a huge lesson for me as I have gone through life. Here they are.

Riddle 1: What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming down the road? “Here come the elephants.”

Riddle 2: What did the elephants say when they saw Tarzan coming down the road? Nothing, elephants don’t talk.

Why? Why do we get up every day and go to work?

Because that’s what is expected: Really? In most companies, the last time you saw your job description was the day you interviewed and you don’t know what is really expected, do you?

Because employees depend on us: Really? Management books say a great manager implements systems that will operate well when management is not there.

Really it’s because Mum or Dad said so!

I am a terrible “bah humbug!” when it comes to “trick or treat” but I do take a keen interest in Ghosts.
